Effective application of systems engineering in rapid response environments has been difficult, particularly those where large, complex brownfield systems or systems of systems exist and are constantly being updated with both short and long term software enhancements. This paper proposes a general case for solving this problem by combining a services approach to systems engineering with a kanba...

We develop and analyze an algorithm to maximize the throughput of a serial kanbanbased manufacturing system with arbitrary arrival and service process distributions by adjusting the number of kanban allocated to each production stage while maintaining the total work-in-process inventory at any desired level. The optimality properties of the algorithm are proved under a necessary and sufficient ...

Implementing the e-kanban RFID solution, in conjunction with the redesign of the ward floor and of staff roles and functions, can substantially improve business and operational performance. The most important benefits for the hospital spring from the time saved from non-value-added activities transferred to patient care activities, and the significant reduction of on-hand inventory at distribut...

Many software companies and software development approaches were introduced during the past forty years to produce valuable software within time and with minimal costs. To meet this kind of requirements SCRUM methodology were introduced. SCRUM is one of Agile methodology. This paper presents a review about all the agile methodologies and recommends SCRUM is best among those methodologies. Keywo...

The trend of increased Agile usage, including within the federal government, is undeniable and ongoing. The private sector has been at the forefront of Agile adoption. Here, competency with Agile has been adopted in a progressive manner, starting with technical teams and flowing down to the business side and eventually the entire organization. For the most part, the federal sector has followed ...

Tendo em vista que o leite é um alimento possui uma alta facilidade para desenvolvimento de microrganismos deteriorantes e se multiplicam rapidamente, deixando essa matéria prima impossibilitada ser usado nos processos produtivos, este trabalho objetiva investigar a aplicabilidade do método Kanban refrigeração cru. Com isso, foi realizada Revisão Sistemática da Literatura partir busca artigos c...
